Academic Integrity Journals
Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity is an online, open source journal. One objective of this journal is to provide Canadian practitioners working in the area of academic integrity with a venue to share experiences and insights about their work. A second (though no less important) goal of this journal is to elevate awareness and mobilize knowledge about issues relating to academic integrity in Canada. This journal is focused on the Canadian context.
International Journal for Educational Integrity
The International Journal for Educational Integrity provides a platform for educators, researchers and practitioners across all sectors to take a leading role in research and discussion of issues in the field of educational integrity. Coverage includes original research, theoretical discussions and review papers on a range of topics relating to educational integrity: plagiarism, cheating, academic integrity, honour codes, teaching and learning, institutional integrity and student motivation, and more.

AICO's Subcommittee on Contract Cheating
The AICO Subcommittee on Contract Cheating was formed in April of 2018. The Subcommittee, in consultation with AICO membership, introduced an Action Plan to reduce the challenges of contract cheating with a holistic, academic integrity approach. This approach is supported and promoted by the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) (2017, 2020), the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (2017) and several scholars in the field (Bertram Gallant, 2018; Bretag, 2013; Macdonald & Carroll, 2006). According to the QAA, “contract cheating happens when a third party completes work for a student who then submits it to an education provider as their own, where such input is not permitted” (QAA, 2017, p. 2).
The Action Plan was created with a view that to respond to the unique challenges of contract cheating in universities and colleges, multiple and diverse stakeholder groups must be engaged. The Action Plan includes five elements as follows:
Raise awareness about contract cheating within all constituencies of our own member institutions (e.g., administration, students, staff, faculty, etc.);
Raise awareness about contract cheating with relevant provincial and national education stakeholders;
Develop and share contract cheating reduction strategies (e.g.: develop guidelines / best practices, engage in research);
Explore advocacy for legislation to offer a legal pathway to prosecute contract cheating providers; and
Engage with international stakeholders to work collaboratively on initiatives and build international capacity.
